Chris Vermeulen:
“It's not great to finish in eighth, but it is a very good result from the weekend we've had. We've really struggled here both last year and this, but this year we have taken a big step and it's great to see that we have a direction to head in. If we improve the same next year we will be pushing for the front. Full credit to all my guys; Tom, Simon, Mats, Ray and Penny, they did a great job all weekend and worked their little hearts out! They gave me a great bike to race and now I can't wait to get to Malaysia.”

Paul Denning – Team Manager:
“I am really happy with the performance of the team and the riders today. A reasonable result looked like a lost cause at the end of yesterday, but the crew worked tirelessly to improve the settings of the bike, and hats off to Tom, Stuart, Sahara san and our factory engineers for getting the best out of the package today. But especially thanks to John and Chris who provided a performance today that, whilst we wouldn't normally shout about seventh and eighth, was a fantastic effort! The steps we've taken today allow us to leave Australia with an element of respect and some optimism that we are going to be able to challenge right at the front again over the final two events.”
